Last month, librarians from all over the country gathered in San Diego for the ALA Midwinter Meeting.  This is a working meeting where librarians award grants, book awards, and work on all things related to the American Library Association.

One of the most exciting happenings is the Youth Media Award announcements.  This is when the winners of the Caldecott, Newbery, Printz, and Coretta Scott King awards (among many others) are announced.

To see a list of the 2011 winners please visit this link.

These are great go-to lists of books when you or your child are looking for something new to read.

Happy reading!
